M126X

[Maynard Reece Byrd]

Anyone own a M126X or M135X?

I am looking at a new one with loader. Probably the M126X.

Not me, but I do envy you. Those are some bad boys!

You have an impressive list including the M8540. I looked at the M9540, but will some times handle round bales a little bigger than it is rated, so looking at moving up.

I will be needing a tiller to prep for shelterbelts and am looking at the SR-240 94" tiller from CCM.

Thanks!

Yeah, the M9540 isn't any more capable than the M8540 except for 10 more HP. The loader ability is the same. The M8540 ROCKS for me... but if you are doing real AG work, I would think a bigger one is required.

I haven't got to play with the S or X Ms, but their transmissions sound really, really cool. I get the impression you can shift on the fly like an automatic. I bet that is dandy in the field. Sounds like they get more gears too. From what I hear that is important when you are monitoring product delivery.

Good. What uses do you make of it?

 

[bama957]

mowing pastures with a 15 ft. rhino.cutting,raking and baling hay and i have been cleaning up some old brushpiles with my grapple attachment on the fel.i bale 5X6 bales and it handles them great.

 

[Maynard Reece Byrd]

Thanks. Do the grapples come down far enough that you can hold a load in the bucket? I have some of that to do and wondered about that, or throwing pallet forks on the front to haul limbs/trees.

 

[bama957]

i dont have a bucket grapple, ihave the clearing or brush grapple. i have cleaned up several downed trees in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to do the job by hand. it will close down on small brush or hold and carry big tree trunks to the burn pile.i always cut the limbs and carry them whole then carry the trunk after i cut it to lenghts depended on diameter

 

[Maynard Reece Byrd]

I haven't seen the brush grapple. Is it a Kubota accessory?

 

[bama957]

i just looked because i thought you might ask. grapple rake is what they call it,i have the 77 inch. worksaver brand .very heavy duty over 800 pounds . you can look at it on their website, i bought the third function joystick. it got a little expensive for it and the grapple but the work ive gotten done by my self ,i dont regret it one bit.

 

[Maynard Reece Byrd]

Found it. It took me a while on their site, but found it. Do you have the skid steer unit? Looks like maybe the difference between the skid steer unit and loader unit is the quick attach?

 

[bama957]

sorry had to leave for a while, yes i have the skid steer model. i bought the grapple from another dealer so i bought the skid steer bracket and welded it on myself.

 

[bama957]

i should have said i got the skid steer quick att. for the loader model. but i think they are the same.

 

[Maynard Reece Byrd]

Many thanks. I am in Dodge City, Kansas and I see there is a Worksaver dealer in Wichita(3hours).

I am looking at Kubota and also a John Deere 6140D with loader.

Thanks,
